Thread: Importance of a Quality Brush

SO, when I put together my first kit, I purchased a Bass brush. Very inexpensive, but I figured it would last me for a while until I could spend a good amount of money on a nice Badger-hair Brush.

Last night, after my 5th shave, the whole thing FELL APART on me! I rinsed it off, went to lightly fling some water out of it, and EVERY bristle fell out!

Word of advice to any newbie: DON'T GET A CHEAP BRUSH!! Don't go to WalMart or CVS and buy the $5-$10 brush. Don't buy a cheap eBay brush. I'm not sure about the Crabtree & Evelyn brushes but I hear they get great reviews and start around $35.

EDIT: Another word of advice to any newbie: Forget about the word of advice I just gave to any newbie Seems that the cheap boar-hair brushes work just fine and last as long. I must've just had a random bad brush.
